OEL's difficulty being moved has to do with him blocking trades. I'd say one is not significantly more difficult to move than the other. Replacing on the other hand is...

Getting anything for Myers would be a bonus at this stage.
Ive always liked Myers and appreciated what he brings to the team (size, reach, chaos). Glad he had a bounce back year. But we need to free up some cap space.
- dbot

Cap space for? Worse defenders? More expensive older defenders?

Younger defenders that next contracts will be as much and last longer?

I don't give a (frank) what you were saying. I'm saying I'd rather have Zacha as a 3C than Dikinson.
- NewYorkNuck

Then don't comment. I mean do you think I give a flying (frank) if you want Zacha over Richardinson. Not in the slightest.

This.

Of course it would be preferable to move OEL and his contract vs Myers, but I think that's unlikely.

OEL's difficulty being moved has to do with the length of his contract imo.
Myers is signed for 2 seasons @ 6m
OEL is signed for 5 @ 7.2m

Retain some salary and move Myers for whatever.

Ideally younger defenders, with size/grit to pair with Rathbone.

When I say younger, I mean more younger than Myers but still later 20s. Probably get a couple seasons before they turn to poop.

I would like to start to see some guys tried on their off sides more. Ones that probably can skate better or have a longer stick defensively. Not someone like Schenn

So we agree that moving Myers is easier then...

Ilya Lyubushkin ?

Colin Miller and Josh Manson are UFAs and around Myers age.
If you could offload Myers and sign either or to a 2 year contract id consider it.
But i'm sure they're both looking for longer term.

Maybe but with only 2 years at 6mil... best to keep him. Trade Boeser instead...

Thanks Benning

What are people's thoughts on trying to sign Paul Stastny for a year. He'd be a big upgrade on Dikinson.

I'd like to see:

Resign Boeser, Lammikko
Trade JTM
Trade Myers
Trade Garland/Pearson.

Sign Lybushkin/Maata

Almost out of Myers contract, not real sense to get into a different one that continues on longer. Unless they are actually going to upgrade with Letang or Klingberg.

I really like the Nils Åman signing for the Canucks.

6'2, rangy centre with legit speed and smarts. Bit of a late bloomer, but has faired well in a 3rd line SHL role the last couple of years.

Sneaky release

https://www.nhl.com/canuc...ith-nils-aman/c-334530230

The 6'2", 185-pound forward was originally drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the sixth round, 167th overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

I see the Canucks as being where Colorado was when they were offloading O'Reilly and Duchene. We'll get a bit younger and come out on top in the end.

If O'reily is JTM, who is Duchene in this scenario?

It would be a mistake to move Boeser. Could you imagine how smug the don would be?
